Canaries

[Canary42]

Idle thoughts (such as one is inclined to have when in isolation) led me to consider - not too seriously - getting a Canary as a pet. So off I went surfing the net for advice etc. This example amused me.

Do Canaries like music?
A few things all canaries seem to enjoy singing along with, and it's not always music; running water will get them just about every time, and so will a running vacuum cleaner. ... Other music most canaries seem to like, funnily enough, is just about anything by the Grateful Dead, Midnight Oil, and Bob Marley.

Not The Byrds?

My dad had a parrot which spoke with an Irish accent :-)

Bono?

[ummmm]

No....we're from a different part of Ireland. We sound nothing like Bono :-D

[ummmm]

Tipperary, a small place called Fenor, 8 miles from Thurles. OH is from Sligo, my daughters dad is from Mayo, my granddad is from Donegal, Nan is Belfast, half my family live in Kilkenny. We get about a bit :-D

A clever parrot then :-)

My wife is from Belfast and can sound like a parrot :-(

[ummmm]

He was clever. When the phone rang he'd say 'is your mum there' That's was my dad ringing my house and always asking for me when one of the kids answered :-) He loved my dad.
